So this update seems surprisingly small considering they said it was the largest to date. I was expecting alot more ooomph like EOD, GRD, and CQB armor, a bunch of new weapons, a new vehicle or two and maybe some new multiplayer modes like king of the hill or rocket race or maybe even action sack. Im very confused. Maybe when they said sneak peek they meant that this graphic is alot bigger and this is just a mini graphic? I really hope that this isnt everything, otherwise it actually looks to be one of the smallest updates to date.
I stopped playing Halo 5 a week or so ago because there just wasnt anything to do, nothing new and nothing that really demanded the attention of a die hard fan (like a falcon for instance) and I told myself Id start playing again after this update since it was supposed to be so mind blowing and huge. I mean dont get me wrong the new forge map looks cool but I never use forge and firefight is fun but I already knew about it and played a ton of it before so its not a surprise. Nothing exciting was shown in my opinion. I really just want new multiplayer game modes and some nostalgia (halo 3 armor sets, vehicles from past games, weapons from past games, etc). I guess I bought into Bravos hype too much. Does anyone have any information or ideas about the blurred out REQs that might get me excited? Cause I felt absolutely nothing from this REQ graphic, in fact I blurted out at my screen “Thats it!?” I guess there could be something cool behind one of those blurred REQs but their rarity has me convinced otherwise. Maybe the other blurred armor set is GRD?
just because its the largest doesn’t mean it needs a lot of req’s! there are 3 new maps, a new mode for campaign, a new forge canvas, FIREFIGHT, and more… large doesn’t mean reqs dude.

Yeah, look at hammer storm or cartographers gift. I mean for people that forge and play warzone this is big I guess but they kind of left arena players in the dirt here

I suppose, but this was never meant to be an arena focused update. It’s all about Warzone.
So you are actually ASKING for more useless REQ padding.
Well as a first, I’m not entirely sure why this would disappoint anyone. This is how the last SEVEN updates should have went…
4 new maps is pretty darn generous, and I feel like the lack of stupid Legendary items added to the pool this time around is a real selling point. We get all this added replayability in the form of Community Doubles, WZ Firefight, Campaign Score Attack, and Forge updates, with only one Legendary weapon added to the pool; only 20 REQs in general, this time. That’s a real improvement to the game.
This update pretty much restored the entire casual aspect of Halo 5.
Um… No, this sure as hell isn’t a small update. Warzone firefight, score attack, three new maps, a new weapon or vehicle variant, three new armours (albeit one is probably a reskin) a new forge canvass, and all that it entails, possible reqs in forge, patches, etc.

Yeah I mean I dont want to complain here but if you look at it from an arena players perspective, the “biggest update” gives us one map…ouch. i was really hoping for a huge game type drop at the least or maybe nostalgic armor sets, vehicles and weapons that will really encourage me to play firefight so I can farm some packs for them. I just dont feel like this is enough to bring me from my hiatus, I guess Ill wait another month and a half.

Three maps and a new forge area. A game type people have been asking for since h4 shipped without it, even if it is in a lesser form. Campaigns scoring and a timer, which considering the pre-release stuff for speed runners is way late. It is ‘bigger’ in those terms. I just wish KOTH, VIP, and Juggernaut were in the mix.
To be honest, it includes new forge objects along with a new canvas. In addition there are rumors about scalable objects. If that don’t speak arena I don’t know what does.
We are also ketting a new arena map after all.
What do you mean small? This is hell bigger than any of the previous updates:
Two new game modes, Score Attack, and Warzone Firefight, which is big on its own. Which has it’s own maps. - New achievements. - 1 new Banshee variant, 2 new Plasma rifle variant, possibly new weapons or a new vehicle, maybe even more variants. - New cosmetics such as emblems and 4 new armor sets, possibly more of the 2. - 3 new maps, one Warzone Assault, one Warzone, one Arena. - New Forge tools, options etc. - New Forge Canvas. - Possibly reqs in Forge (looks very likely) - A new mysterious ONI classified feature.Looks pretty big to me. Bigger than all the other updates and considering the fact that this update was intended to contain Warzone Firefight only.

So basically you want more Warzone-based stuff in a Warzone based update from an Arena player’s perspective?
I don’t think it was small, but it could have been a lot bigger. I’ll list a few things they could add in the future:
Hayabusa Armor - Operator Armor (Reach) - Hornet/Falcon (Hornet is more preferable) - Brute Shot - Spiker - Mauler - Spike Grenade - Old maps from previous games (Sandtrap, Blood Gulch, Rat’s Nest etc.) - Armor effects [?] (I already posted an entire thread about it.) - CQB armor - Needle RifleI know most of these are REQs, but i’d love to see them.
